Initially scheduled to meet at UFC Vegas 8 last August, the welterweight matchup of division mainstay, Neil ‘The Haitian Sensation’ Magny, and kickboxing talent, Geoff ‘Handz of Steel’ Neal has been reworked to land at UFC Fight Night 189 on May 8. with a location or venue for the event yet to be determined by the organization.
Seeing his three-fight winning spree halted at UFC Fight Island 8 in January, Mangy headlined the Abu Dhabi, UAE event on short notice against Michael Chiesa after the cancellation of a pairing between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev dropping a unanimous decision defeat.
Headlining for the first time in his most recent walk, Neal returned in December at UFC Vegas 17 dropping a unanimous judging loss to two-time division title challenger, Stephen Thompson. News of the rescheduling of Magny and Neal was first reported by ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto.
Brunson vs Holland UFC prediction and betting pick
PREDICTION: Kevin Holland (-172) - When I described Brunson as a gatekeeper I meant that as a compliment. He s the perfect guy to test up-and-coming hyped fighters. Either they get derailed by Brunson or they defeat him and move on to become the division s upper echelon like Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, and Yoel Romero.
You know exactly what you re getting with Brunson: Heavy hands, powerful takedowns, and nasty ground-and-pound. On the other hand, Holland can be a bit wild and shows lots of different looks on his feet and on the ground. That can be highly entertaining for fans but it also makes him a tricky fighter for opponents to get a handle on.

It’s two consecutive victories for two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. The road to the 170-pound top-five still goes through Simpsonville, South Carolina with fan-favourite Thompson displaying some of the most technical striking in recent memory to score a dominant judging win over Geoff ‘Handz of Steel’ Neal.
Utilzing his phenomenal footwork from the get-go, Thomspon fired from ranfe on cue, countering and evading the pace-pushing and pressuring from Neal. With just over a minute remaining in the round, Thompson and Neal unfortunately clashed heads during an exchange opening a cut on both of their eyebrows. Round one in the books and a round for Wonderboy.
